I bought the Demon's armor pack from XBL. The Chaos set looks badass - it has smoke effects. First DLC I purchased for the game but probably the last unless it's an expansion. I only got it since I had some extra MS points.

I don't know how that will balance out but man they really need to do something, anything! You level fast as hell solo too while you rank up incredibly slow in comparison lol.
what! That's interesting

Damn, my pawn just got 500k RC from someone and some dragon forged gear from Everfall 
. And got 49k from another person.
On another note, I have so many ideas for DD2, like allowing some classes to forgo a secondary weapon for more skills with the main weapon, different types of weapons (like 2H heavy ie berserk style stuff, and 2h light ie katanas, broadswords etc). Allowing dual wielding (yay more stats and loot to collect!)

Stamina regen is slower, stamina use is higher as well, not that sure about running speed. But if you're already in post game it's not really an issue, you should have more stamina than you need most of the time. It's most apparent just starting out, you run out of stamina a third of the way to the encampment sprinting from cassardis.

Needs a Lance + Shield combo in the next game as well.

Itsuno needs to be directing it again and he should design it based on the same design philosophy as the first game, god don't listen to the complaints about high level monsters roaming the land, a sense of danger should always be encouraged, if anything the monster placements in this game is far too predictable. Make the game even more action-based, on better hardwares.
Multiple weapons and unique skills for each of them would be nice, they don't need more classes but more variety within each classes, switching weapons on the fly would be nice but I think they're running out of buttons, unless they tweak the skill-slots system a bit.
Not sure what they could do with the pawns.

Edit: Just read a thread on gamefaqs and apparently they fixed the jiggling physics? wat
and Rangers uses tenfold arrows more now and more useful

Hard to take good pictures fighting against dogs, mainly due to having to spin cameras around a lot since they like to attack from behind and you get a crappy camera angle whenever you turn 180, and I need to find myself a holy sword, I hate enchanting my sword, takes forever.
Look at all dat juice!

grand scension dagger skill on MA is awesome - used with vortex trail might be a good idea too. Explosive rivet and the party status buff are both very handy also.
Assassin does get the best stat boost to STR when levelling though.

Grand Ascension and Explosive Rivets are two awesome skills. Explosive Rivets sort of make up for not being able to use Explosive Arrows as a MA, but I still prefer Tenfold Flurry with those.

Thanks for the answer i was being worried since the forger asked for 187k ( it's a lot for me right now ) and i wasn't sure if this was worth it

is this new? i don't remember seeing that option.
Nope. It auto-opens/hides depending on whether you're in GS or outside. The option exists solely to let you see how the face of the pawn looks before hiring

I wonder what we'll get after the final set of 10 quests or whatever.

On 360, I had to switch the controls from Type A to Type B. I just switched up the trigger inputs - using LB/RB for skills felt weird.

They fixed the infinite carrot thing?? Aw shit.
Just picked this game up for the 360. I really, really want to like it, but there are just so many instances of "what in the christ am I doing" in the first few hours.
That, and having this one lone bandit hiding in the middle of some really weak bandits suddenly start one-shotting my entire party sent my "frustration meter" right off the charts.

I don't think there is really any way to do that. Maybe:
-Do not explore and only go to where quests are sending you.
-Run away from the big exp mobs like Chimeras.
-Keep the board quests for the end.
-Always bring maximum amount of pawns to get less exp.
I write this and it does not seems like a fun way to play the game haha... It's one of the game greatest flaw I guess.

The RE6 demo? Keep in mind that the actual game disc is required to access the demo.
As for your second question, you don't really become too overpowered until after end-game.

God's had his chance.
Oh my god... if they only stole the hot swap favorites on the d pad i would flip out. You could customize and practice so intensely we could be buidling dmc combo builds right now. Imagine the skill videos...
hopefully on the sequel ... which is so day 1 at this point they might as well travel through time and give it to me yesterday.
I think it's kind of impossible
but you won't be overpowered the entire game, it does get easy midway through but there are a few points in the game where you get some challenging mobs again so it's not exactly a cakewalk all the way through.
If you find it just too easy, toss away a pawn or two, but regardless the game finds a way because you get more exp the less pawns you hire.
Okay, what in the hell.
I was going to escort some guy to Shadow Fort, but I decided to take a trip back to the capital to upgrade my main character and my main pawn. Naturally, my main pawn decided to take a plunge off of a cliff, bled out in an area I couldn't even get to, and was sent back to the rift. "Okay," I thought to myself. I'll just go to the capital and activate a rift stone.
... But I'm not seeing any rift stone here. And the only vague piece of advice I could get elsewhere was to go out of some western gate (which an NPC is blocking off due to some bullshit reason). Please do not tell me I have to walk back to the encampment to get my main pawn back.

I've had a constantly challenging run playing as a sorc using only the main pawn also as a sorc. Both have never used any other vocation except for the starting mage. I don't recommend this if you're only playing for the first time though.
Even more challenging than this would be a mage only solo run, but I think it would be impossible at many points to progress.
You could always swap to using crap equipment to challenge yourself if you feel overpowered. I had a run where I beat the dragon with rusty daggers.
You need to have the quest that asks you to report to the pawn guild to get to the rift stone.
There's a rift stone in the pawn guild in gran soren, it's actually the first main story quest you start there
Cool, I had the quest, but the NPC still blocked the way. I had to actually talk to the Innkeeper in order to be able to get past. But everything is cool now, got my main pawn back and got a vocation change to now pretend like I'm Guts from Berserk with this huge ass Twohander.
If you want the Guts armor, you'll have to beat 3 trolls in The Ancient Quarry west of Gran Soren so that a merchant can set up shop there. An easy way to beat them is using Mystic Knight and use a lightning bolt spell with the staff. I tried to beat them with swords, daggers, heavy swords, and it just wouldn't work.
You forgot to try bows. Shooting it in the face puts it into a stun loop for an easy victory.

Hellhounds are so cheap and my dumbass Pawn gives me a fire enchantment when there's 1 zombie and 6 hellhounds. Wtf.
They make a sound whenever they do a fireball, and they seem to like to attack from the back, so just turn around and dodge/block when you hear them

Don't you just love it when a Hellhound drags you for like 30 feet?

I turn down the music/sfx and listen to Lana Del Rey when I'm playing, anyways.

Wait...Guts' armor is in the game? Say Whaaaaa?

And yeah they aren't that good. I'm tempted to buy the new voice and color DLC too. I'm a big sucker for customization options.

Word...*boots up PS3* What about his sword?
I like how the guy has been standing there the entire day lol.
I think the non-gold equivalent of the Soultaker is similar to his sword. I only have the gold version but I've seen the normal one on some pawns; dunno what it's called though.
It's there too, called Thousandlimbs.

So I made Geralt of Rivia for my pawn... or tried to anyway. It doesn't look as good as I'd hope.
I think I might already be overleveled. I just reached Gran Soren and I'm level 12. Things going pretty smoothly. I remember people complaining about the Witchwood quest, but I was able to handle that well enough.

Yea, all (storybased) quests are pretty much doable as soon as you have access to them, only difference is probably the vocation and the gears they have on that are making things harder. The progression is quite linear.
